Pink Bunny has become a member of our family. Everywhere Aliza goes, this bunny goes. Neither a "he" or a "she", just Pink Bunny is never far from Aliza's side. This was Pink Bunny four years ago. Bright, soft, intact, recognizable...
I looked through my pictures and here are some of the first sightings of Pink Bunny.
I even made a tribute to Bunny several years ago. As you can see, there once were several bunnies, but over time some have been lost, other still hanging around. But none of them could replace the real Pink Bunny!
We all dreaded the day that Pink Bunny would be lost, or... decapitated. I can't tell you the amount of stress I have gone through as a parent making sure Bunny was never lost or forgotten somewhere. David has even made midnight runs around the mall parking lot looking for Pink Bunny. I know we lost one at Costco and another at Disneyland. The others... who knows where they are. After years of toting around Bunny, we knew the end was near, but never sure when it was really going to happen. Deep down I felt like losing Bunny would be like losing a member of the family. But at the same time, I couldn't wait to rid ourselves of the stress of keeping track of Bunny. Well, last night Bunny met it's final fate at Target. Oddly enough, there were no tears. Only relief that it finally had happened!
I thought it was finally over. I mean Bunny is beyond repair! Time to pack it away in her memory box and keep safe. But no, at 4 am this morning I hear Aliza come running in our room and waking me up. She couldn't find Bunny's head!

I'm laughing and crying at the same time. Remember when she called her blue bunny for a while, because it was so dirty it looked blue?!!!
